All eyes will be on Stadio Nicola Ceravolo when Catanzaro and Monza face each other in the first leg of the Serie B playoffs final. As both sides are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the first leg, we predict a 1-1 draw. Catanzaro did well to eliminate Palermo 3-2 on aggregate in the semis, but the hosts head into Sunday’s clash with a couple of injury concerns as both Jacopo Petriccione and Constantino Favasuli are rated doubtful after picking up knocks in the previous playoffs match. The Calabrian side have been tough to beat at home lately, averaging 2.50 goals scored per game in their last six home outings.
Monza, on the other hand, booked their place in the final thanks to a 2-1 win over Juve Stabia, with Patrick Cutrone scoring a brace off the bench. The experienced forward is now pushing for a start, and the visitors will fancy their chances given their solid overall form and superior defensive numbers. The fact that I Biancorossi have kept a clean sheet in 40% of their last 10 away games supports our betting angle.
As first legs are usually low-scoring, we are tempted to bet on Under 2.5 goals, with additional value on Half-Time Draw and Draw.
This Serie B match will be played on Sunday 24 May 2026 at 19:00.
